It’s become typical for streaming shows to have long gaps between seasons, and this can be a real issue. When viewers have to wait years for new episodes, they might lose interest or even forget what happened previously, forcing them to rewatch old seasons. Even shows from creator Taylor Sheridan faced this – it took almost three years for the second season of 1923 to arrive on Paramount+.
Westerns that explore the rougher truths of the American past offer a more honest look at history, giving audiences a sense of witnessing real events. While these films often blend fiction and myth with fact, they still resonate because they tap into fundamental aspects of human behavior, particularly the enduring presence of violence. The best of these ‘revisionist Westerns’ truly stand out as exceptional examples of the genre.
We started by discussing the world Lydia and Vidala inhabited – what life was like for them. Understanding that original world is crucial, because it highlights what they lost. This is also important for The Testaments, as it helps us understand the girls’ motivations for building their comfortable lives and what they risk if that world ever falls apart. Essentially, our first question was: who were Vivian and Lydia before everything changed?
After reports surfaced in September 2024 about a potential Deathstroke and Bane movie at DC Studios, Deadline reported that Greg Mottola, known for directing Peacemaker, is the leading candidate to direct.

Following a highly successful first season on HBO this past winter, a second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is confirmed.

It’s currently unknown which other characters from season one will return.
Okay, so heading into NBC’s presentation on Monday – where they’re really leaning into a Rockford Files revival – it’s been confirmed they’re moving forward with a bunch of new shows. I’m hearing they’ve greenlit three pilots they shot this season, signaling a return to more traditional pilot production. We’re talking about Line of Fire, a drama that looks like a twisty family conspiracy within law enforcement, and two comedies: Sunset P.I. and Newlyweds. Sounds like NBC is trying to cover a lot of ground here, and I’m curious to see how these all pan out.
A key feature of every Mortal Kombat game is the “Fatality” – a finishing move where the winning fighter delivers a gruesome and over-the-top killing blow to their opponent. While this extreme violence has often caused controversy, it’s a big part of what fans love about the series. Fatalities are so iconic that Mortal Kombat wouldn’t be the same without them. This list ranks every major character death, or Fatality, shown in the new movie.
While the beginning of the film shows a lot of promise, the rest doesn’t quite deliver. The movie is most effective when it’s subtle and mysterious, but it loses that spark when it tries to become more direct and explore ideas it isn’t fully prepared for. This leads to an inconsistent and noticeable drop in quality. Though Jessica Rothe gives a strong performance that keeps you somewhat engaged even when the film slows down, it ultimately falls short of the initial excitement. Overall, despite some good moments, the film didn’t quite live up to expectations.
